For those who have not watched it yet, Army of the Dead follows the aftermath of a zombie outbreak. The story focuses on Las Vegas, where a group of mercenaries is planning to enter a quarantine zone to pull off a big heist.

Netflix is also thinking ahead. Even before seeing the success of the Army of the Dead, the streamer had also given its nod to a prequel of the film and an anime series. Zack Snyder will direct two episodes of the anime series.

It is also a fact that Netflix worked too hard to make the zombie-heist film a success. It made Army of the Dead a global event. The trailer was launched in an interactive Twitch Activation and challenged fans to crack a code that was hidden within CCTV footage that was surrounding the vault and the floor in the pic’s Bly Casino. The fans who cracked the codes were able to get VIP access to an interactive twitch Livestream. The Livestream also included a Q&A with Zack Snyder.

To make things more interesting, Netflix also created a BTS special that lasted for 30 minutes. It shared the making of the Army of the Dead.

In other news from the entertainment world, reports say that Joker 2 is being co-written by Todd Philips. Fans are hoping that Joaquin Phoenix will also return.
